Do you ever hear it when you are doing business with others? The excusers, the blamers, the “It’s just not working for me” folks. They are quick to tell you why failure is not their fault or the goal was simply not reachable. The very stories they tell share more the truth of the story. Each of us have to learn to succeed. Success is not some far away planet that only some individuals get a ticket to travel to, but a way of living that says “I’ll figure it out, I’ll learn this, whatever it takes I’ll get it done.”
One of the secrets to success is identifying the goals. Once a goal is identified, you can then begin the process of learning what it takes to reach it. Maybe you realize at the beginning that you’re missing some knowledge before you can even define how to reach the goal. Perhaps you need to understand a process or perhaps learn a system that consistently builds towards your goal. It helps to choose to be around other individuals who have the mindset of success. Who share their journey, encourage one another and together blaze the paths towards their goals.
Part of the formula for success is mindset. It’s the decision to focus on the possibilities, to measure the actions not the feelings each day. To celebrate the processes of consistency and to encourage yourself and others. Mindset is perhaps the most important part of whatever goal you’re facing. If you can manage your emotions, your mindset and your outlook, any obstacle becomes smaller in the process of your passion and desire to overcome it. Winners know that it takes hard work, learning and repetitive actions to move towards their goals. Like the athlete, the race is not won on game day or race day, it is won each day they wake up and put on their running shoes, each time they lace up and hit the track with no starting gun or cheering crowd. Winners know that the daily integrity of doing what it takes to win leads to creating a worthwhile life, not just winning a specific race. Are you ready to be a winner? To change your environment and maybe your daily community to one where you set the pace, you set the standard for which you are paid? Where when you work well with others and train them to succeed, you are paid well for your effort. Are you ready to create a business where you define where the finish line is, not some standard salary someone else determines and you can’t control? I’m looking for individuals who are ready to go the distance, who are willing to see visions and set goals to achieve them. Are you ready to win? Let’s start living your future today!
What do you believe? Success is deeply affected by what we believe about ourselves, our abilities and our opportunities to engage, grow and succeed. Have you been in an environment where the morale is low? Where no one seems to believe that anything will succeed, change, or flourish? What about your favorite restaurant? What is different about that experience? What ambiance, service, or experience brings a pleasant thought to your mind? Time is the most valuable commodity in each of our lives. Are you spending your time with people who encourage you? Are you working in an environment where excellence is appreciated? Effort’s reward a daily experience? Do you believe that you are valuable? Do you find worth in your own needs being met? Do you reward yourself for work accomplished?
“What we think about we bring about” as Zig Ziglar shared so many times. The thought of that is often “Oh I need to think about being wealthy or successful” but too often the thoughts we think are more negatively grounded, more in tune with “this isn’t working…or I”ll never get this handled” which can truly stymie your daily experience. Are your goals set? Do you know the steps it takes to accomplish the desires you dream of? Are there people in your organization to support, teach, share, and mentor you? Do you see yourself in the vision you dream of, plan for, and identify as what “success” is for you?
One of the benefits of able strategic partners in your business and in your life is the environment and culture that focused entrepreneurs bring to the daily experience. My business partners are leading the pack in our area of business. They not only are building our company strong, but its clear that they want each of our businesses to flourish. The business plan and products are focused to support each of us gaining ground on the future we want tomorrow happening today.They seek to enlarge individuals skills as each of us approach tomorrow with understanding of the stages of success required. Are you in a tribe that seeks to be their best? Does your company include individuals who recognize excellence, celebrate achievements and seek to be consistent yet also expect to grow and excel in all areas of their success? Do you have leaders on your team who are focused on supporting your business and personal growth?
What do you need to be your best you? What encourages you? What transforms your daily “to do” list to one that you wake up ready to engage? What makes success worth the effort for you? How do you reward yourself and how do you prefer to be rewarded? Important questions to consider. We know that ultimate wealth is building a life you not only desire to embrace, but to also achieve the life vision you have for yourself? What does yours look like? We’re about to enter the fourth quarter of the physical business year, but more importantly, we’re entering a new season of this year. Are you ready to find a future you want to live today? I’ve made a transition, I’ve worked through what the above questions look like for me, I’d like to hear how they look for you.
What are your dreams made of? What do you think of when you think of your best life? We are often raised to think it’s money, prestige or position. However the best success is creating a life you love and can grow with you. I began my first business right out of college. It’s not the safe route, it’s not even the recommended route, but its the route that worked for me. Have you ever known that feeling that life has more to offer? Travel, time on your schedule, the ability to engage with people every day you enjoy working with?
What works for you?
What kind of work do you want to do?
Who do you want to work with?
Why are you waiting to create a life you love?
How do you celebrate living?
I’ve owned successful businesses for over three decades. What makes this one different? There are many factors that make what I do enjoyable: flexible work schedule, a solid product line and marketing team behind my efforts, a chance to choose who I work with, a never ending opportunity to be paid more for working effectively. Really the luxury of knowing that I can choose to be at whatever space I wish to be and at whatever level of income I seek to be with no barriers to my success.
Want to know more? Taking the leap is no different than how I jump with my horse. You learn, you walk the course to find out what it is, you become familiar with the track patterns that lead to success. Ready to talk it through? Contact me, I’ll share with you how it’s worked for me.
